I want to know if in fact there is a relation between these conditions and if there is any possibility that the adderall which he used for years before getting the other two conditions has anything to do with the two. Also if the chronic asthma medications he was exposed as a baby (proventyl, pulmicort and prednisone). Fyi child has allergy to amoxil. Thank you.

I took this drug for a brief time in the second grade. Very soon I started having headaches, water retention, etc. I was taken to the hospital and was in there a week recovering from near kidney failure. Starting in my teen years to the present time I have trouble achieving and maintaining a erection, my desire is 1/10th of my friends my age, and even with the use of viagra/cialis I don't have a normal working penis.

Using 20g to 40mg of ritalin per day when studying/reading/on class/meetings/presentations. Ritalin works wonders, but I've never been diagnosed with ADD/hyperactivity. it helps me to focus and to produce huge amount of work in a shorter time.

I'm a heavy marijuana smoker, can smoke from 3 up to 7 regular sized joints per day. My thinking is way too fast, weed helps me to relax. Sometimes I use ritalin and a little marijuana combined (one or two tokes).

I am high of Ritalin and marijuana right now and the feeling is great. If you like to get high, this is a good combination. I am currently study and about to take a calculus final. My GPA is a 3.53 and I smoke weed everyday, roll on MDMA about once a week, and basically what ever drug I can get on a daily basis I will take it.

So true! I go though he'll to get my Ritalin and for just that very reason. When I head down to Egypt for work, the abuse (recreational) of Ritalin changed the law that it now has me driving 1.5 hours just to fill my prescription every 6 days.

I can't get a 1 month prescription anymore.

To the fellow who uses Ritalin as a recreational drug (even though he's not ADD) together with an illegal drug (marijuana)---

You and others like you are the reason the FDA has those of us who need it jumping through hoops to fill a new prescription each month!

What difference does your opinion matter to us? It doesn't work the same way when someone "needs" the medication because of chemical imbalances in our brain.

I think you're a jerk.

Every evening (before going to bed), I take Effexor XR, Alprazolam and Orthocept. I suffer from EXTREME and CONSTANT fatigue. I have had test after test after test trying to find a reason for the fatigue. All the test results come back as fine. My doctor recently put me on Methylin ER, which I take every morning to try to combat the fatigue. It is not working. I am wondering if the fatigue could be caused by a drug interaction.

Have your adrenals checked, find a Doctor who
knows drugs can also cause side effects. Find
some books or go to your local health food store
and talk with someone.
The problem is finding someone with knowledge.
